Europe saw the birthplace of photography in France in 1839. Since then the
continent has continued to be a center for progressive ideas and
experimentation with the “foto”—photo in German. European artists and
photographers have helped establish the medium as a serious form of creative
expression, defining and redefining the position of photography within the
larger world of art.

This exhibition features works of art from some of
most Europe’s most well-known artists and photographers including Julia Margaret
Cameron, Eugène Atget, HenriCartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Christian Boltanski
and Gerhard Richter among others. The exhibition also features several new
acquisitions featuring work by Wolfgang Tillmans and Bernd and HIlla
Becher.

Drawn mostly from the DIA’s permanent collection, Foto
Europa examines aspects of the long and prestigious history of European
photography primarily in France, Germany and Great Britain, regions where
photographic practice has flourished.
